This is a great last minute idea to decorate your house for Halloween. Everybody loves a clementine. Get a bunch of clementines, add a black sharpie and a little imagination and they become mini jack-o-lanterns.

Here’s a popular dessert idea that I have used at my party quite a few times over the years. Make some red velvet cupcakes with white cream cheese frosting. Now make a batch of clear sugar glass. If you don’t know how to do that it’s really quite easy. Find a recipe here. After that’s all done break the glass into pieces. I usually do this by dropping the sheet of glass while it’s still in the baking pan onto the floor. It will break into a bunch of glass like shards. Take the broken pieces and randomly stick them into the cupcakes then sprinkle edible blood (see recipe below) over the glass and cupcakes. They turn out yummy and look awesome.

If the mixture is too thin stir in a teaspoon of corn starch, whisking rapidly to thin out any lumps or you can leave it to settle for a while and skim the lumps off the top. Obviously you can up the recipe if you are making lots of cupcakes, but this will get you started.

Need something to spook up your drinks for your Halloween party? This black rimming sugar should do the trick. Funny though, the one review on the site complains that it turns your lips black. I think of that as a plus personally. Get your here.

This is absolutely the single most coolest product I have ever seen! It would make me so happy if I could come downstairs for breakfast and have this waiting for me every morning. I’m not an early riser, but for this I’d jump out of bed. Get your here.
